A Brief Autobiography

I was born in 1974 in the United States. As I was growing up, my
family moved around a lot; my father, a doctor, never seemed to be
satisfied with where we were living. While I was growing up, my
family moved from Maryland to New York, then to Maine, then to
Michigan, and finally to Montana. Upon graduation from high school, I
started moving around myself, first going to college
at New Mexico Tech in Socorro, New
Mexico, where I earned my B.S. in physics in 1996, and then moving to
Honolulu, Hawaii, where I worked at
the Institute for Astronomy at
the University of Hawaii to earn
my M.S. in astronomy in 1999 and my Ph.D in astronomy in 2002.

My hobbies include traveling, photography, visiting museums and
historical sites, reading, and computer games. For samples of my
older photography, please see my
scenic photography pages; I will hopefully eventually have time to
add newer photography soon as well as update the pages.
